Senator Musliu Obanikoro, the Minister of state for Defence, on Friday saidĀ investigations were ongoing to unravel the mystery of the aircraft that allegedly caused the collapse of a guesthouse belonging to the Synagogue Church.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the Synagogue Church of All Nations had claimed that an unidentified aircraft had hovered above the building many times before it finally came down.
No fewer than 86 persons died while many were seriously injured when the six storey building collapsed on Sept 12 in Lagos.
Speaking with newsmen after a condolence visit to the Church, Obanikoro urged Nigerians to remain calm as the mystery would be unravelled.
āWe must not pre-empt the outcome of the investigation.
āThe investigation is under the jurisdiction of the police and the police will do all it can to conclude investigations swiftly.
āMy appeal is that people should wait for the outcome of the investigationā, he added.
āHuman lives are involved and so the issue must not be trivialised or politicised.
āI am here to commisserate with the Church and all the people that lost their livesā, the Miinister said.
He, urged journalists to be mindful of what they write while reporting the incident.
āWe must remember that the families of those that died are there and so we must try not to hurt them more with our reportageā.
When you go after the Sex fiend con man murderer TB Joshua and his empire of criminals and actors you will collapse into hell along with them. The collapse of his building is more than an irony. I have been warning you idiots for years who this con man and his actors are all about, now you learn the hard way, but will you now reject him and his empire of criminals now? Nope, you are useless mindless unrepentant idiots.
